LOS ANGELES -- The co-owner of a Boyle Heights child care center was charged today with committing lewd acts on three young girls.

Enrique Ramos, 45, of Los Angeles -- who was arrested Thursday and remained jailed in lieu of $300,000 bail -- was charged with three counts of lewd acts upon a child under the age of 14, with the charges involving three different girls.

Each count carries a maximum sentence of 15 years to life, according to the complaint.

Ramos was expected to be arraigned this afternoon in downtown Los Angeles. Prosecutors said they will seek to increase his bail to $1.3 million.

Ramos is the co-owner of Cano & Ramos Child/Day Care Center, in the 2600 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The center has since closed.

"Investigators discovered that Ramos committed these crimes in 2008, 2009, and the most recent incident occurred in 2013," according to police. "Past victims of the suspect range in age from 5 to 8."

Police released a photo of Ramos today, urging people who might know additional victims to contact authorities.

Anyone with information on the case was urged to call LAPD Detective Steven Juarez, (323) 342-8994, or file a report at the LAPD Hollenbeck Station, 2111 E. First St.
